Discovery Phase

Formulate a Goal You are Developing an App for

Firstly, you need to analyze the 5 Ws, i.e. –

‘Who’ you want to serve;

‘What’ you want to serve;

‘Where’ you want to serve;

‘When’ you want to serve; &

‘Why’ you want to serve.

It will provide clarity of ‘what’ you want to serve & what all features you need to add in your app to provide the services. After you decide what you want to serve (which is the ultimate goal of app development) you need to ensure that no existing app is providing the similar function. If it does, add uniqueness to your app.

Decide the Functions Your App will Perform

After you are clear with the goal for app development, the next step is to decide the functions you will be adding in your app. In order to find out what all functions need to be added, you can use ‘App MockUp’ which will help you to create an outlay of services you want your app to deliver & based on that, you can add the functions.

In order to give the technical structure to your app, you need to hire app developers (like us) who will use their software’s knowledge to develop your mobile app.

We will talk about that in the later part of the post.

Monetize Options

The next step is to research what all Monetization options you want to give in your app.

There are 3 ways to Monetize –

Advertising

Freemium &

In-App purchases.

Once you have decided the Monetization option you look for the sources that can design them in the app.

Software Methodologies

After deciding the 2 crucial elements of an app, next step is to move on to discover the software methodologies to be used to design an app.

Once an App is designed, it is sent for development to an App developer.

App Development Phase

While the app is under a development phase, an app developer should send the app for testing to its real users. It provides the clarity of if the app is working well with the users & they are not facing any technical glitches.
